In the rush to cover the surprise nomination of Judge John Roberts Tuesday evening, CNN cameras honed in on a courthouse - but it was the wrong courthouse. On Wednesday, the cable network again showed footage of the wrong courthouse. They showed the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which handles patent reviews and federal claims, instead of the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where journalist Judith Miller was recently ordered jailed for contempt of court. That's the court over which Judge Roberts presides. That courthouse is located a couple miles away from the D.C. Court of Appeals at 333 Constitution Ave. NW, across from the National Gallery of Art. The Federal Circuit Court, located at 717 Madison Place NW, is the red building across from Lafayette Park.How could anyone listen to, or be persuaded by, Keystone Kops who can't find the correct court?
